SOLVED Set temporary WordPress site admin password in script that automate WordPress installation using WordPress toolkit

[crd]

I am using a bash script to automate WordPress sites installation, via command line, using wp-toolkit. How can I set a temporary WordPress site admin password?

The document for WordPress Toolkit Command Line Interface (WordPress Toolkit Command Line Interface | cPanel & WHM Documentation), indicates that ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable can be used to set password for administrator's username. However, after many attempts I still haven't been able to set a WordPress site administrator's password using the script. Here is the relevant portion of the script that where I try to set the admin password.

/usr/local/bin/wp-toolkit --install -domain-name "mydomain.com" -username "$ID" ADMIN_PASSWORD="${familyName}${ID}" -username "Second admin username" ADMIN_PASSWORD="temporary password for the user"

What option can I use to set the site admin password in the portion of the script shown above? I would appreciate very much your help to resolve this issue.

Hey there! I've reached out to the WordPress Toolkit team about this issue and I'll post another message as soon as I have more details.

@crd - it looks like your reply came through an email instead of as a post to this page, so I'm going to include a copy of that here to help out other users in the future:

"A technical support technician provided information that helped me to resolve the issue.
Temporary password can be set up by assigning the password to the ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable and exporting the variable before calling the wp-toolkit command. For example, it can be done as follows:

export ADMIN_PASSWORD="the password"
wp-toolkit --install -domain-name mydomain.ca -username "username" -path "the path"
#Unset the environment variable
unset ADMIN_PASSWORD"
